GRAND BLANC, Mich. - Chris DiMarco had an 8-under 64 Friday and took a two-shot lead over David Sutherland and Paul Gow in the rain-delayed second round of the Buick Open.

Sutherland and Gow had 67s and were at 11-under 133 after two trips around Warwick Hills. The round was delayed for five hours because of lightning and heavy rain and was later suspended by darkness.

Players will finish the second round this morning and the cut will be made. Threesomes will go off both Nos. 1 and 10 in the afternoon to try and complete the third round.

Among those who were left on the course when play was stopped was Tiger Woods. He was 8 under through 33 holes, tied with U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk, Hal Sutton and Kenny Perry, who has three wins and three top 10 finishes in his last six tournaments.

Woods started the day 3 under - 10 strokes behind DiMarco - in his final tuneup before playing the PGA Championship in two weeks, his last chance this season to win a major.

Woods was lining up an 18-foot birdie putt at No. 4 when the weather alarm blared at Warwick Hills forcing players to stop play and fans to seek shelter.
